Haunted
Arkaeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Change them all the rearrange
The constellations by the day
Forget me now
Please change how, how I've become
I've come undone, I've come undone
One year how fucked up I've become
Taste of blood won't leave my tongue
Thought you were strong, I've come undone
If we keep running from
The thing I fear the most
God look what I've become
Afraid of letting go
With nowhere left to run
Transparent as a ghost
Thoughts merely on my tongue
Clairvoyant as the host
And content with growing old
One year how fucked up I've become
(How I've become, how I've become)
Once here but suddenly you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
Taste of blood won't leave my tongue
(Can't leave my tongue)
Thought you were strong, I've come undone
In the song "Haunted" by Arkaeo, the lyrics express feelings of pain, loss, and confusion. The first verse demonstrates a desire to change oneself, to forget the past, and start anew. The singer has become undone, and they want to transform themselves into someone or something else to escape the heartache that they are feeling. The second verse reveals the cause of the pain, a lost love or relationship, and the heartbreak is preventing the singer from moving forward. They are stuck in the past, unable to shake off the taste of blood, both a metaphorical representation of their pain and a physical manifestation of their grief.
The chorus brings in the theme of fear and avoiding things that we are scared of, and the singer is afraid of letting go. They are lost and have nowhere to run, and in their pain, they become like a ghost, transparent and weak. Finally, "content with growing old" is a statement towards acceptance of one's life and the traumas that have shaped them.

Forget the words I used to say
Disregard my past expressions
Change them all the rearrange
Modify them in any manner you see fit
The constellations by the day
Stars shifting in the sky as time passes quickly
Forget me now
Erase my existence from your memory
Please change how, how I've become
Alter the way I am now
I've come undone, I've come undone
I'm severely disoriented and unraveling
One year how fucked up I've become
Realize how disturbing my current state is compared to when you knew me a year ago
Once here but suddenly you're gone
One moment you were present, but now you're absent without warning
Taste of blood won't leave my tongue
I can't forget the violence that occurred
Thought you were strong, I've come undone
I had faith in you, but now everything is falling apart
If we keep running from
As long as we avoid
The thing I fear the most
My greatest terror
God look what I've become
I'm ashamed of what I've grown into
Afraid of letting go
Terrified of releasing my hold on the past
With nowhere left to run
There's no exit strategy
Transparent as a ghost
I'm easy to see through
Thoughts merely on my tongue
I can't seem to articulate my feelings appropriately
Clairvoyant as the host
Envisioning things beyond the realm of the physical world
And content with growing old
Not overambitious beyond aging gracefully
One year how fucked up I've become
Realize how disturbing my current state is compared to when you knew me a year ago
(How I've become, how I've become)
Admitting to my shortcomings in my transformation
Once here but suddenly you're gone
One moment you were present but now you're absent without warning
(Now that you're gone)
Acknowledging your departure has affected me markedly
Taste of blood won't leave my tongue
I can't forget the violence that occurred
(Can't leave my tongue)
My brain fixates on it despite my efforts to move on
Thought you were strong, I've come undone
I had faith in you, but now everything is falling apart
